His tone was very firm, and Ah Sheng had no doubts about the accuracy of his guess, so he slowly raised his eyes, and gradually looked into those bright eyes, "Sikong guessed that person?"

But he didn't answer her, but silently carried her all the way outside the palace, and stepped into a carriage that seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Go home." His soft voice floated in his ear.

The servant raised the curtain of the car, and the faint fragrance in the car rushed to her face, enveloping her nose, bringing a very warm breath, which seemed to be the smell of home.

The taste of home... is it such a stable sense of belonging?

He shook off the wool felt and covered her with one hand, and adjusted his posture so that she could rest more comfortably on his lap.

As the carriage rattled away, Ah Sheng heard him whispering above his head: "I have already taken the life of the little inner eunuch. Whoever dares to hurt you will be spared."

The voice is not loud, but it contains the most impressive power, which is decisive and frightening.

She didn't speak, just turned her back and closed her eyes in silence, a little bit of retaliation against him for not telling the truth in the palace.

But he continued on his own: "Those little maids are really stupid and ignorant. Gu told them to take good care of you, and sent you back to the palace no matter how good they are, why did such a mistake happen? Gu will fine them fifty dollars each tomorrow." Board, to punish a crime of ineffectiveness and slack in power."

"They're all skinny and tender. They're either maimed or injured when they go down fifty. Besides, I don't want them to escort them. It's none of these girls' business to let them go back earlier."

She didn't want to pay any attention to him at first, but after all, the health of those maids was important, so she still had to speak up.

After all, according to his temperament, she has no doubt that this is not just a mere joke. If someone is killed, he will never be afraid, but she will be so shocked that her conscience will be disturbed and she will feel ashamed.

But he didn't speak any more, and silently pulled out the Yitian sword from the scabbard, the clear sound of "Wow" instantly resounded through the eardrums, making Ah Sheng's heart hooked all of a sudden.

Eyelids narrowed curiously, in the dim eyesight, he seemed to be wiping the sword carefully with a veil, and all the blood on the sharp blade was wiped off inch by inch, and he sealed up those bloody memories in his own in memory.

Come to think of it, those mottled bloodstains were still hidden in the necks and hearts of those people half an hour ago, and the faint lingering bloody smell was mixed with the burning incense in the carriage, and they were all quickly penetrated by people from outside the carriage. Driven by the autumn wind.

At this time, she didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending that she couldn't hear anything, and closed her eyes quietly to listen to the sound.

"I have killed many people alone." In the silence, he said suddenly.

After saying such a sentence inexplicably, the listener couldn't help being startled.

"Gu remembers that when Xi Zhicai was still there, this smart young man once told Gu during a night drinking around the fire that if you want to seize the world, it is far from enough to rely on strategy and the so-called human heart, and blood may not be the best A tool for conquest. So at that time, I was thinking that a sage, a sage, and a sage would not be able to do it in this life. It would be better to be a power minister thoroughly, without having to worry about gossip in the world. Probably because the bad guys have done a lot, whether it is yourself Or people all over the world have long been used to it, but the more clean and enlightened the sage, the less he will be tolerated by the world, and the more likely he will be stigmatized by this hooligan. This may sound ridiculous, but it is the clearest truth in the world , can’t escape.”

He sighed and seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to let her hear clearly, and opened the window to let the faint smell of blood dissipate.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia have always been similar, they don't try to be benevolent and sages, they only care about what they get from winning or losing at the moment. As for blood and life, they may have already seen it clearly.

That's why they live wantonly and open-mindedly.As for the merits and demerits, they don't care anymore.

She suddenly felt extremely envious of them, not knowing whether it was for herself or for that person.

"But have you ever thought that if you are only a few feet away from the whole world in the future, will it be this river of blood that flows between you?" Thinking of this, she unconsciously said, and immediately shut her mouth after speaking. , almost blurted out quickly.

Cao Cao probably didn't want her to understand what he meant, but she still understood.

It's just that when she thinks of that gentle and cold name, she doesn't want to think about it anymore, but it is definitely not a good thing to deliberately avoid it sometimes.

She didn't see his strange eyes gliding past, only heard a low sigh hidden in the darkness, with a slightly hoarse voice: "Sometimes I don't want you to be confused, but sometimes I really don't want you to be too smart. "

"I want to be confused forever." She closed her eyes and replied, trying to avoid his eyes chasing the answer. "Unfortunately, I don't know if you will give me this chance."

"You are forcing Gu Gu to promise a future that I don't know whether it can be realized, but Gu Gu can't refuse." The carriage happened to run over a boulder, and it shook for a moment. more illegible.

In the dark night, the old raven cries lonely, wandering tirelessly in the forest, shaking off the yellow leaves on the branches with its flapping wings, and drifting into the spacious carriage.

She held the corner of her mouth bitterly, trying to make her voice sound less difficult, and said: "Forget it, I'm not happy to think so far, let's live for the moment."

"That wine glass...are you alright after drinking it?" After thinking about it, she decided to change the subject, unable to restrain the doubts in her heart, she hesitated for a while before asking.

She didn't open her eyes, so she didn't see the smile on Cao Cao's lips, and only heard him say in a calm voice: "No one has taken a sip of their wine."

That's right, if he didn't have this bit of vigilance, he wouldn't be the current Cao Mengde, and it was because she was too worried and made an unnecessary afterthought again.

Annoyedly thinking about it in his heart, the drowsiness as heavy as a mountain gradually hit him, and the human flesh cushion on the back of his head was soft and comfortable.She simply emptied her mind and let herself fall into a dream.

Unexpectedly, when her breathing gradually stabilized and she was about to fall asleep at the last moment, her body was suddenly shaken violently, trying to shake her bones apart.

"Bian Sheng! Don't fall asleep, if you do fall asleep, you won't wake up again! I hope you open your eyes immediately!" Hearing the sound, Cao Cao became anxious, and the scorching breath gradually approached A Sheng's ears, He called her in a commanding tone.

But how would he know the torment she is suffering at this moment, it seems that all the blood in her body has flowed clean, leaving only a dry body, but the nerves are extremely sensitive, and the heart-wrenching pain has now turned into a boundless pain. The darkness and sleepiness poured into the pupils of his eyes.

She didn't have the strength to respond to him anymore, and subconsciously made an "uh" in her throat, her face was terribly pale.

"A Sheng, A Sheng, wake up!"

"A Bian? A Bian! Shenger!"

He actually started to yell indiscriminately beside his ear, and I don't know if it was because of impatience, he began to call her indiscriminately, and even yelled out the name Xun Wenruo called her back then.

She hasn't heard this "Sheng'er" for a long time, it seems to come from the distant past, just like the name of that gentle and elegant person.

It's late autumn now, and it hasn't snowed yet.

"Madam's arrow wounded deep into the muscles and bones. The arrow was smeared with poison. In addition, the arrow could not be treated in time, and the blood loss caused the body to be weak. I am afraid that if Madam is not young, it would not be easy to survive until now."

A Sheng woke up half-awake from his sleep in a daze, and a middle-aged man's unhurried and honest report came from beside him.

There is a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, surrounding it.

"Then how sure are you that her injury can be cured?" It was Cao Cao's unique voice.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense in a lowly position, but the situation is probably not optimistic. The poison has already penetrated into the bones, and we must seek an antidote. Our Imperial Medical Office is contemptuous and ignorant. Forgive me for the crime of ignorance and lack of knowledge. I beg Sikong to go to the rivers and lakes to ask for another wise man, so Madam Fang There is hope for recovery."

After saying that, the imperial doctor kowtowed to the ground a few times, Cao Cao nodded and allowed him to leave.

After the imperial doctor left, the room fell into silence again.

She couldn't pretend to sleep anymore, so she opened her eyes and looked at him speechlessly.

"Are you awake?" A maid outside brought over the medicine bowl, and he took it with his hand, looked at her and said, "The imperial doctor said that your injury is not serious, but you must be able to recover safely. You should drink the medicine quickly." , if you don’t take care of your body and cause the trauma to recur, then I will have no time to take care of you, and you can decide for yourself which is more important.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the small bowl on the carved table, and flicked the dust on his clothes, his tone sounded careless.

A Sheng watched him doing everything seemingly casually, but his eyes glanced at him from time to time, and after being caught by her, he immediately turned away, trying to get up from the edge of the bed as if nothing had happened.

She couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed his hand and whispered: "Don't go."

The two words were like raindrops suddenly falling under the smoky blue sky, hitting his heart directly, and ripples suddenly appeared in circles. He suddenly stopped and turned around, leaning slightly to stare at A Sheng's face.

"Ah Man." Her lips were as pale as paper, and every word she uttered seemed a little thin, but her voice fell to her heart, "Why do you have to treat me like this? You have always been so cold and distant, seeing me Sad and lost, will you be really happy?"

The injury on her shoulder was suddenly affected, and she couldn't help taking a breath, but she kept staring at him stubbornly.

But it's getting harder and harder to figure him out.

Even though he was mysterious and unpredictable in the past, he still shone through under the cover of mist, allowing her to peek into the depths of her heart.

But now she was afraid that this ray of light would drift and flicker for a long time, and would eventually go out, and then she would no longer be able to see his eyes clearly.

He moved his lips to speak, but before he could say "You—" there was a hurried report from outside the door, "Lord Sikong, Governor Cheng Yucheng asked to see you in the study, saying that he has something important to discuss with you."

Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at A Sheng, but without saying a word, he turned his head coldly, straightened his messy clothes and walked out the door, disappearing into the moonlight.

The intense disappointment immediately enveloped her heart solemnly like this gloomy moonlight, covering all the bright colors of the stars that were just about to penetrate.

She couldn't help closing her eyes angrily, quietly pulled up the quilt and pretended to be asleep, pretending that she didn't care, looking heartless.

There was no life in the room in an instant, it was so cold that it was bleak in the bones, the charcoal fire was of no help, and the teeth were forced to chatter.

She couldn't stand it anymore, and ignored the cold wind blowing on her body, she just lifted the quilt and sat up, looking for embroidered shoes and was about to get out of bed.

"Ma'am, you are seriously injured, how can you move around? You should lie back on the bed and rest quickly." She was about to tuck her feet into her shoes when Luyi just filled a basin of water and stepped into the threshold. Seeing that Asheng was about to get out of bed She was frightened immediately by her appearance, quickly put down the six-petal lotus copper basin in her hand, and leaned over to help her back.

He said anxiously again: "You should rest well, otherwise Sikong will blame the servant again, saying that the servant did not take good care of you."

A Sheng curled up his legs, buried his head and hugged his knees on the bed, and sighed softly:

"Luyi, what should I do? Why am I always ruining my relationship with him?"
